There are many dumb players on this roster, but MBIII is not one of them. Other than the penalties, the OL did a great job tonight too.

There was some really intelligent guy that had already pointed this out earlier in another thread and it concluded with a brilliant synopsis explaining the inadequacies defenses continued to project while...oh right, that was me.
J/K, Achozen. We really can't have enough man-love Marion Barber appreciation threads on here right now. He deserves all the accolades after tonight's performance.

Cowboys hopped on Marion Barber's back

Cowboys PR chief Rich Dalyrymple was the only man who stopped Marion Barber once the fourth quarter started.
Dalyrymple practically had to form tackle Barber, whose most elusive moves come when he's avoiding the media, to keep him from bolting to the bus without talking about his phenomenal performance in the win over the Commanders. Not that the workhorse said a whole lot during his two-minute chat with reporters.
"The fellas up front got it going," Barber said, "and they just kept making those holes."
The offensive line definitely deserves some credit for whupping Washington's front seven with the game on the line. But Barber, who finished with 114 yards on 24 carries and 39 yards on six catches, was the primary reason the Cowboys were able to slam the door on the Commanders at FedEx Field.
Not counting a couple kneeldowns by Tony Romo, Barber got the ball on 16 of the Cowboys offense's 19 plays in the fourth quarter. That included every 11 consecutive clock-killing plays on the game's final drive, moving 49 yards and milking almost six minutes.
"The runner is a tough son of a [beep]," offensive coordinator Jason Garrett said. "He loves those situations and thrives on them. He did a heck of a job. That's just the way he is. He's a competitor. He has such great heart."
Added TE Jason Witten: "Marion was a warrior. He fought for every yard. It wasn't easy. That's the way we're used to him playing, and at the end of the game, he just imposed his will."
